During the five-day Lunar New Year holiday period from February 14 to 18, the city will organize and operate 25 task forces across seven areas: safety, transportation, convenience, quarantine, prices, sharing, and establishment of public servant discipline. During this period, 607 personnel will be on duty for situation management.

In the safety area, a 24-hour disaster and accident response situation room will be operated to prepare for various incidents and accidents.

The city will also inspect the safety management status of 41 multi-use facilities, including traditional markets and large discount stores, as well as roads and public facilities.

At the same time, it will strengthen food safety management by checking whether local businesses properly indicate the country of origin for agricultural, livestock, and marine products.

In the transportation area, the City Transportation Countermeasures Headquarters will be operated, and city buses on 21 routes will be intensively dispatched during peak travel times for visitors to ancestral graves and homebound travelers.

To minimize parking inconvenience, 216 school and public parking lots, offering a total of 23,217 spaces, will be opened free of charge.

In the convenience area, a comprehensive cleaning countermeasures situation room will be operated to establish an emergency waste collection system.

An energy supply task force will also be operated to stabilize fuel supply and prepare for gas, electricity, and oil-related accidents.

To prepare for emergency patients, the Sujeong, Jungwon, and Bundang district public health centers will designate medical clinics and pharmacies that will operate during the holiday, and a 24-hour treatment system will be maintained, centered on nine emergency medical institutions in the area.

In the quarantine area, each of the three district public health centers will maintain a 24-hour emergency quarantine contact system and monitor for any occurrence of waterborne or foodborne infectious diseases.

In the prices area, the city will guide and crack down on unfair business practices, manage the prices of major Lunar New Year holiday staple items, and work to establish a sound distribution and trading order.

In the sharing area, the city will strive to foster a warm holiday atmosphere by delivering donated goods to low-income households through the "Sharing Love for Each Other during the Lunar New Year" support desks installed at 54 locations across the city, districts, and neighborhoods.

The city has posted detailed information, such as duty hospitals and pharmacies operating during the Lunar New Year holiday, free public parking lots, and daily household waste collection schedules, on the top section of the main page of the Seongnam City Hall website.
